Most of the "proper" crosswords (you know, the hard ones) are still written by people - you can tell from the clues - but a lot of the "cryptic" or "quick" ones aren't: they're built by programs which then select one of the meanings from a dictionary, and use that as a clue.

It works well enough, except that occasionally they'll select an obsolete or obscure meaning, and you can rack your brains for hours when faced with _e_s__u__, with only the clue "to afflict" to help you. 

Obviously, using an app to find the answer would be cheating (hence the name) but if they're going to use computers, you can too; so that's what Cheetah was written to do: help you solve crosswords.

Actually, if I'm honest, it was written to help me solve crosswords, on my old PC almost ten years ago; and I find it so useful it's been faithfully copied from machine to machine as I upgraded them.  Naturally, it was one of the first things I wrote as an app.

It's persecute by the way, and Cheetah searched 32263 words to find it for me (it only searches words of the correct length, it actually has 233,612 words in its full vocabulary).

It'll also do anagrams but only if you buy it (the free version has a banner ad too).

Time for the screenshots.

Anagrams



It's available in both paid and free versions.  The free version has advertisements, and doesn't do anagrams.

The free version is here, to buy it, go here in the Google Play store.
